You can turn your iPad into an alarm clock, or simply ask Siri to set one for you. Alarms can be set for any time and repeated on specific days of the week, and you can adjust how long the snooze lasts.
You can give an alarm a label and choose a song or ringtone. You can also change the alarm’s volume, and turn off or remove an alarm whenever you like.
Siri: Ask Siri something like: “Set an alarm for 7 a.m.” Learn how to use Siri.
